A lot of the work I do as a therapist is asking people to connect with their emotions. Like taking a small child’s hand if you are in a busy, scary or unknown place, putting that wee child’s hand in yours gives them a sense of security and safety.
Like layers of an onion we all have different layers to us. My definition of myself was someone who was active, loved Crossfit workouts, walking and running my dogs, fit-ish, strong and always on the go with lots of energy for whatever life threw at me.I love travel and exploring new places. Since I fell and broke my leg 3 months ago none of those definitions of me apply to me anymore (temporarily!) so where does that leave me and my sense of me- my ego.
At the start of November I fell and broke my leg in 3 places.
